hi pippi, thanks for all the chicken information, i think two eggs a day would see us right, that or 3 as OH can eat loads in a week and that would give us some for baking.

You're doing the right thing taking the money and keeping it for school things, just perfect in my opinion.

I need to get my grocery spends under control as well, especially if we're moving, we don't want to be lugging a freezer full of things do we? and we've a huge chest full of food it will probably help with budgetting as well, as we should be trying to save as much as possible whlst we're in the transition stage so we're ok when we finally move.

Hey Pippi, definitely agree with the keeping the money for school or yourself or treating your friends a bit who are helping you out. Silly Daddy should never have put you in that position in the first place, SDs make my blood boil sometimes, okay most of the time........

Sounds like you've got a busy time coming up! DD and I are very excited as I'm *shhhh* bunking off work slightly tomorrow, I have to go to the town to pick up some football tickets for me, boss and others (including DD) to go to see our first ever (and probably last ever) football match on Saturday afternoon. So, as it's kind of work-related, I'm going to take DD down in work time as she's with me anyway without childcare tomorrow, take her for a cheapy pizza and then we're meeting OH who'll be coming back home after a hopefully life-changing (and appearance-changing) medical appointment! Woohoo

Remember to breathe.

Morinng KC - yeah I have

I promise to treat both me and the tiddlers to something.

Honest and there will definitely be tea in tunnels with fishboxes to sit on stripey socks and pigtails, I'm not going to take cheri up on her dare, directly, but indirectly it will help towards something.

TBH I don't want any of his funds near my growing arena, bad karma, money is grudged, so I don't want it to affect my flowers

However, if it goes to something else like a cc (and pays for school stuff etc) then any extra would indirectly help.

I will buy my chums a nice pressie when down, or lunch maybe. YUM YUM

Good point about the karma, Pippi - you're right!

Compared to what your list has been in the past - thats actually pretty good! But now you have to actually, you know, do it And I have to do mine, when I've had brekkie.

Good luck.

Hope the trip to pick up the Little Longstockings goes well. Interesting thought about karma and flowers... I now picture you like Barbara in The Good Life talking to the bean plant... "lovely bean"

Morning Pippi,

Honest and there will definitely be tea in tunnels with fishboxes to sit on stripey socks and pigtails, I'm not going to take cheri up on her dare, directly, but indirectly it will help towards something.

Perfect and very true re the Karma. Hadnt thought of that to be honest but it makes sense. As for indirectness I am all for that.

Good luck with the list. Pah to midnight ferries!

Little Longstockings! I love that :j:j:j
